The Used Lead-Off Single "The Bird And The Worm" Blowing Up on YouTube, MTV2, and Fuse

Band to Unleash New Album -- "Lies For The Liars" -- on Reprise Records May 22nd and Join the Warped Tour for Select Dates This Summer

BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 3, 2007 -- Reprise Records will release the third album
from platinum-selling rock band The Used, "Lies For The Liars," on May
22nd. The video for the album's lead-off single, "The Bird And The Worm,"
is the Number One "Most Viewed" and "Most Linked" music clip on YouTube
this week, as well as the video-sharing site's Number Two "Top Favorite"
and "Most Discussed" music clip. "The Bird And The Worm" is also in
rotation on the Fuse network and on MTV2, in the channel's T Minus Rock
Countdown, and is being voted on this week on MTV's Battle of the Videos
(www.mtvbattleofthevideos.com). The song, which fashions vibrant strings
and post-punk rhythms into a mélange of theatrics and desperation, exploded
into the Top 20 on the modern rock charts its first week of release and is
currently available for purchase on iTunes.

The Used -- which features singer Bert McCracken, guitarist Quinn Allman,
bassist Jeph Howard, and drummer Dan Whitesides -- began writing the songs
on "Lies" in early 2006 after taking time off to decompress from a
relentless touring schedule in support of its previous album, 2004's Top
10, gold-certified "In Love And Death." Needing a change of pace, McCracken
moved from the band's hometown of Orem, Utah, to Los Angeles, where he says
he discovered "the most fake people I had ever come across on the whole
planet. They're all just liars. Being in that environment had a direct
effect on this new record, which is a little more vicious, but in a strange
way, also more loving and caring."

With songs that range from classical-tinged melodrama to thunderous,
bombastic rock, "Lies For The Liars" is a deliberately experimental,
emotional, sonic exorcism. "We definitely didn't want it to be anything
like our first or second records," McCracken says of the new album, which
was produced by John Feldmann (The Matches, Goldfinger, Story of the Year).
"We wanted to experiment more than we ever had and take any new idea and
run with it as far as we could."

The Used will be making a series of live appearances surrounding the
release of "Lies For The Liars," including select headlining shows on this
summer's Vans Warped Tour (see dates below). In addition, they will perform
on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on May 17th, online at AOL Undercover Sessions,
which premieres the week of May 28th, and on MySpace's new live show "The
List." That appearance will be filmed on May 23rd in Australia, where the
band will be touring, and featured on MySpace for the following three
weeks.
